Unlocking the latest updates for the IAPCO Member Community

Unlocking the latest updates for the IAPCO Member Community June 2026

Having just returned from FIEXPO in Costa Rica, where I was pleased to be part of the CVB Challenge, the Politicians Forum and the launch of the IAPCO and FIEXPO Jorge Castex Scholarship Programme to the LATAM community, I was delighted to see so much positive and innovative work being done across the region, and such strong enthusiasm from many to work with IAPCO.

Our recent Council meeting in Maastricht was the first time the new Council Members, Ginevra, Jessica, Benoit, Amit and Alex, were able to experience the passion and commitment of our leadership team together in person. The discussions were both strategic and practical, and the camaraderie amongst this newly formed Council was evident from the very start.

IAPCO continues to move from strength to strength with the exciting launch of our new ACE 1 programme and by welcoming new partners such as DSV and Excel London, alongside new Members Bros Group and Think Business Events, with others to be welcomed soon.

So, let’s celebrate our achievements so far and continue to advocate, educate and build our community together.
